AI For Non-Techies | nontechies.ai

I believe AI should be accessible to everyone. 
So I built a business that teaches it in a simple, honest way. 

AI for Non-Techies (does what it says on the tin, really) offers: 

- AI training for teams (in-person or online)
- AI Academy for small businesses/freelancers 
- "Train the AI Trainer" courses 

Have a little look at what we do: https://nontechies.ai/

Oh, and a bit about me: 

- $75m revenue generated for clients using AI
- Working with brands such as Toyota, Mitsubishi, Google, Salesforce and many others 
- AI Consultant to UK government + local authorities
- Top 5 MarTech influencer globally
- On the ISO panel for AI and cyber security globally
- Winner: AI Trailblazer at the AI Revenue Summit 2024
- Winner: Top Women in SaaS 2024
- Featured regularly in Forbes Magazine
- International keynote speaker
- 20 years in marketing and sales (legal + finance)

I'm a humungous believer in doing your bit for your local community. I run Festive Friends, which provides free social events for older people who have no friends or family.  I believe AI has huge potential to reduce digital exclusion, too. 

To book training, speaking or a chat, contact my EA, Katie, who you can access via my email: heather@nontechies.ai.

Founder

AI for Non-Techies, born from a newsletter of the same name, was launched out of a clear need for non-technical AI education.   I'm deeply passionate and enthusiastic about helping non-technical people understand and integrate AI into their work and personal lives.

My business grew 5x last year
One simple workflow helped hugely
3 simple steps + 2 tools (£40ish total)

Step 1: Ramble to your heart’s content. No need for any structure. 

Step 2: Download that big rambly transcript 

Step 3: Upload it into your AI chatbot of choice with a good prompt.  

Ramble chat = solid gold.

PS How was this video? Useful? Crap? Too long? Distracted by the way I sat in that weird way? 

Please let me know as I’ll be doing more and want to get them right!

Fellow AI trainers, educators, course creators: 
Do you use AI to help build your courses?
I use it a LOT. 

This past few weeks, it’s been me and Klara, my Claude Project, absolutely smashing it in doing 300 hours of work in about 100 hours. 

You can use AI badly and get rubbish, generic, meh results.
Or you can use it well and get stuff that actually works. 

The quality of your prompts is a biggie here. 

So the lovely folk at Learnworlds and I have put our brains together and created this free Prompt Book for you all, sharing some of my favourites to help you along in 2026. 

📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 - stress-test your idea before you build anything 
📌 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘂𝗺 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 - design a logical learning journey using Bloom's Taxonomy 
📌 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗿 - turn messy feedback into a clear action plan 
📌 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿 - create activities that actually engage 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 - transform bullet points into natural, watchable video scripts 
📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 - write copy that sells the transformation 
📌 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘇 & 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - design assessments that test real understanding 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗯𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - proper ABCD-format objectives with the right Bloom's verbs 
📌 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁 - price with confidence, not guesswork 
📌 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 - get crystal clear on exactly who you're teaching

Every prompt follows proper structure (role, task, context, constraints, output) so you get genuinely useful results - not generic AI waffle.

This will save you hundreds of hours and drive your training business forward in a whole new way. 
You’ll need to put good stuff in (ideas, thoughts, examples of previous content) in order to get the good stuff out. 

This year, I’m determined to take my AI-driven course creation to the next level, so I’m going to the online 𝗔𝗜 𝘅 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 from LearnWorlds to find out the latest in this space. If you're a course creator, trainer, or L&D professional - this is worth your attention.

To learn more about prompting and AI-driven instructional design, it’s a free online event (with handy certification,too): https://lnkd.in/e88x7Zwj

2026-AI-Training-Brochure

Eek - it's finally here! 🎉
12 (live) weeks of solid ChatGPT gold 
(And it starts next week)

ChatGPT is a MASSIVELY powerful tool for small businesses, but the vast majority of people I meet only use about 1% of its features and capabilities.

Designed specifically for solopreneurs, freelancers and small businesses, our brand new live course is led by the brilliant (and super lovely) Nick Crawford and is crammed with colourful, eye-opening value: 

Week 1: Feature map and what's possible
Week 2: How to prompt like a pro
Week 3: Create a content creation powerhouse
Week 4: Build your own AI workforce
Week 5: Explore Atlas, Connectors and more
Week 6: Sales and lead generation
Week 7: Financial clarity and planning
Week 8: Deep research and market intelligence
Week 9: Autopilot customer service
Week 10: Visual storytelling
Week 11: The power of Projects
Week 12: Hidden Tricks, Hacks & What's Next for ChatGPT

We don't believe in lecturing as learning - you'll get hands-on throughout the whole course, testing what you learn live and building practical skills.

The course culiminates in a final project to bring it all together.  Pass that (our team will mark them) and you'll get a lovely certificate to share on socials.

You can do this course with ChatGPT Plus (£20/mo) but for decent security we recommend ChatGPT Business (£30/mo, 2 user minimum) if there's more than one of you.  I'm afraid the free one won't be enough.

Hey 👋

Happy New Year. How was your Christmas? Have you had any snow? 

(Soz-thought I'd get it all the small talk out of the way in one hit)

I felt a little bit lost with what to post on LinkedIn towards the end of 2025. 

I've seen this platform evolve into an AI circle jerk over the past 12 months.

When you see humans engaging with inauthentic, vanilla, meaningless waffle- it's tempting to roll up your sleeves and get involved. 

But alas...I don't want that. I don't really think you want that. 

I think now, more than ever, we're going to see real people craving connection with other real people. So that's what I'll be leaning into this year. 

I'll also be addressing the fact that despite 2025 being GTC's most commercially successful year since launching in 2019...it's also been the least enjoyable. More on that to follow.

If this is your first week back at work...be kind to yourself.

Right, where's my coffee. 

P.S A HUGE thank you to the incredibly talented Hannah Miles for inviting me to be part of a very special personal project in the lead up to Christmas. I'll be dining out on these pics for some time 😉

Can I ask a favour? 

Back in 2024, following a chance meeting in a coffee shop in Leigh on Sea, I met two incredible people, Marc Barnacle and Mike Barnes. 

Marc and Mike are the founders of Essex based music charity T.I.M.E - Together In Musical Expression and they're on a mission to make music accessible to everyone. 

The work they do is incredible and has literally changed the lives of the thousands of people that have attended their sessions, events and inclusive club nights since they launched in 2014. 

They're now in a position to bring a Fundraising and Partnerships Manager on board and considering all they do to help others, I'd really liked to help them too *

*For the avoidance of doubt I'm supporting them with their search completely free of charge

So, I'm going to leave the link to advert for this one here 👇

https://lnkd.in/euem3kkJ

And if you think you might know someone in your network with the right experience who would love to work with two of the nicest people you're likely to meet then it would be amazing if you could give this a share. 

Oh...and I'm not sure if this sweetens the deal at all but they share an office with me 🤷‍♂️

Much love, 

John x
